Dot to Dot 2014

About the best UK inner-city Festival

Saturday 31st May 2014

Teeming with the best new music, and officially the ‘Best Metropolitan Festival’ of 2013 as crowned by The UK Festival Awards, Dot to Dot Festival returns once again as the UK's premier festival for unearthing the hottest new talent around, alongside established acts from all over the globe. Now in its ninth year and touring Manchester (Fri 23rd May), Bristol (Sat 24th May) and Nottingham (Sun 25th May), Dot To Dot’s ever eclectic line-up is set for its biggest and best year to date. Announced so far ...

Headlining this year’s festival will be Peace, the zeitgeist guitar band of 2014. We will be bringing you a first-listen of their imminent album 'Atlas' very soon... Parisian alternative indie-electro-pop trio We Were Evergreen are certainly a fresh sound, and indie revivalists Wolf Alice also join the bill. Expect grunge tales of youth and love and anger from Blackpool three-piece Darlia, billy-bragg influenced acoustic-folk from Sean McGowan andsoul-tinged stylings from London-based New Yorker Norma Jean Martine, plus lots, lots more.
